Chapter 293: Goodbye, Part 2

Outside the Phoenix Temple, a stone structure made of redish rock and built into the side of a volcano, the two reappeared again, and Beliar immediately flew inside.

"Innos!" he shouted. "Innos, get over here, quickly!"

Woosh!

Innos appeared in the hall by stepping out of a flaming twist of space.

"Beliar? What happened?" Innos asked calmly as he straightened his robe. "Wait, Arrav?! What happened to him?!" Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Beliar almost burst into tears, placing the old man on the ground, "Innos, you have to help him! He was struck by an assassin, I can't feel his Aura anymore!"

Innos quickly crouched down and placed his hand on the old man, feeling for his Aura.

Alas

"It's gone" Innos whispered, "Even his Divine Soul is gone, not a strand of it is left"

After a momentary shock, Innos quickly accepted the fact that his old friend was dead. He slowly closed Arravs eyes that remained half-opened in his death and stood up.

"Beliar What happened?" he asked.

"Assassins They- They attacked and And I failed to notice them, and they" Beliar's words became messy and difficult to understand as he started rambling incoherently.

"It's all my fault" he gasped in realization. "It's all my fault! I should have listened to his advice and called for reinforcements! I killed him! Aaaah!"

"Beliar!" Innos shouted and grabbed his friend by the shoulders, "Calm down, you are not making any sense!"

Sigh!

Getting upset further would do him no good, so Innos quickly calmed his emotions.

"Stay safe, brother."

"It has been months, and Beliar is still not back. Something must have happened to him, that's for sure."

"I still can't believe he used the Pillars Doesn't he know the consequences?!"

"Sigh, of course, he does"

Innos sat at a stone table with a white orb in hand.

"The war is intensifying Even with our brothers' help and Dwarven muscle, the future looks grim."

"It's time for me to join the war. I'll empty the Temple and seal it. Hopefully, Beliar will come back soon."

"Beliar, if you are seeing this and the war is over then I'm most likely dead. Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. Most likely the rest would have also dismissed the threat and"

Innos released a deep breath and stopped talking. He took the orb and entered a room with shelves specially made for holding crystal spheres like that one.

"I'll take my apprentices now and seal the Temple. Hopefully the Phoenix Necklace will work as intended, otherwise"

He shook his head and hardened his resolve.

"Anyway Goodbye my friend, may we meet in this life or the next."
